Updating Firmware
VP-793 accepts firmware downloads only in a dedicated Updater mode.
First disconnect the USB lead.
The unit is put in Updater mode by keeping the Menu key pressed at power up. If the Menu key is
released within 10 seconds after power up VP-793 is in Updater mode. Otherwise, VP-793 is started
normally.
Whilst the Menu key is still pressed the On LED is flashing. When in Updater mode the On LED is
flashing two times repeatedly.
Now the USB connection between PC and VP-793 needs to be established and the Kramer PC Updater
tool to be started.
The PC Updater tool allows to browse and select a firmware file in BREC format. When a BREC is
selected the Update Firmware button has to be pressed and the firmware download to the VP-793 into
non volatile flash RAM starts.
After completion of the download VP-793 needs to be restarted normally (without pressing the Menu
key) for the change to take effect.
It is recommended that the user now performs a factory reset.
